The Department of Modern Languages offers primary majors in French, Italian, Spanish, or in modern languages (a combination of two of the following languages: French, German, Italian, Russian, or Spanish). Students in each of the majors are required to complete 42 credits in courses above the elementary level. Students beginning their major at a level higher than intermediate or advanced may waive three or six credits with the permission of the department. Those majoring in modern languages will complete 24 credits in a major language and 18 in a secondary language, all credits above the elementary level. The department also offers secondary majors. Students that elect to have either French, Italian or Spanish as a secondary major will complete 36 credits in courses above the elementary level. Students who elect modern languages as a secondary major have the same requirements as in a primary major, 24 credits in a major language and 18 credits in a secondary language.
